A Room of Her Own Just Got Bigger
Margaret Sanger and Me--an Invitation
Please join me at the beautiful Brooklyn Museum Sunday, Sept. 13, at 2pm for a conversation about Margaret Sanger's legacy and leadership lessons for today in honor of the birthday of Planned Parenthood's founder Margaret Sanger.
I'll discuss Sanger's life and work, the history of the birth-control movement, the role that birth control plays in women's equality and empowerment, and what activists today can learn about leadership from Sanger's organizing. I had the honor of wearing Margaret's mantle as former president of Planned Parenthood and often turned to her words and history for inspiration during the most challenging times. So I'm very excited to have this opportunity to share her leadership lessons through the lens of her life story. We'll talk about the movement today as well.
Margaret Sanger is a featured guest in The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago. If you haven't seen this magnificent installment at the Brooklyn Museum, it's worth the trip just to do that. Before or after my presentation of course...you'll understand why Margaret's plate is a flaming red vulva.
Where and when:
Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art Forum, 4th floor
Eastern Parkway (2/3 subway--directions and more information here)
Sunday, September 13, 2-4 p.m.

I have in my possession a great treasure, dear lady reader, that will change the way you have sexual relations with his lordship. I shall tell you what it is after I explain to…
This was just so beautiful. I truly related to the efforts to find sources of comfort - like God - and what happens when that fails.
I hope to read more of your writing, because it was very enjoyable.

Kathryn,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. It must feel good to write it all down as opposed to an unhealthier alternative. I can relate to your story on many levels...Good for you Kathryn! Well done!
This just broke my heart. I have so much respect for what you do.
It's so hard, because everyone (especially children) behaves a certain way for a reason - but when they're irritable and grumpy it's hard not to let that affect your behavior.
Thank…
